8/29/08

Soni had a blood draw yesterday and the platelet count was low. They will do another blood draw today to see what the trend is... whether still going down, or has it stabilized. It had been around 31 but was down to 28 yesterday. If it drops to 24, they will do a blood transfusion.

The prednisone that she takes for 5 days after each chemo and the dosage adjusted so she comes off of it gradually at the end of 5 days rather than cold turkey seemed to help some this last time. She was still shaky but not quite as tired.

Hopefully her blood draw today will at least be stable. The next chemo is on 9/08.
